Amazing Quality at Value Price!I bought this set for my husband and myself back in October/November 2018 and we couldn't be happier! We use the knives on a daily basis. They are great set for the quality and price. The block is a bit bulky for our SF kitchen counter and I recommend hand washing - we would recommend this set!

Ideal for a Foodie WannabeEvery "foodie" knows the Wusthof name is synonymous with quality. So I ordered a starter set because it was on sale. It was a great deal!. I have only had it for a week or so but there is a great variety of knives -- I have yet to use half of them. But the ones I have used are sharp and "precise." I admit with the smaller ones, they are interchangable to me... In time I'm sure I'll learn the subtle differences of each. I am very pleased with this purchase and look forward to growing into this set.

Perfect Knife Block Set!I had been looking at knife sets for over a year and finally decided to look at the Williams-Sonoma website thinking the sets would be out of my budget. After looking at and reviewing 4-5 knife sets I chose the Wusthoff Gourmet 12-Piece Knie Block Set. It was on sale for 20% off which was an added bonus!
The knives are spectacular! This is the best knife set I have ever owned. I chose this set because of the knives that were included with the darker butcher block (which is beautiful).
These were the first new set of knives I have had in years and what an amazing difference in the way they fit in my hand and the ease of cutting through a variety of food textures! These knives, by far are the sharpest and most comfortable in handling that I have ever owned.
I was certainly worth the in depth search to find the best knife set possible because I found them on sale at Williams-Sonoma!
